“Jessica was amazing and helped let my dog out when I had to work some long hours. Took lots of cute photos and wrote a little blurb about what they did. She was awesome!”
About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.
“Amazing fur baby sitter! She went above and beyond to make my kitty cats feel better about me being away for so long with cleaning their messes and having quality playtime. Even one that hides came out to play.”
“Deidra took amazing care of our little girl!! She worked with us to meet our pup’s normal schedule, and was sure to keep us thoroughly updated with check in reports for each visit! She also kept our pup active and socialized with her own wonderful pup, Teddy. We will look to have Deidra care for our pup again next trip and would highly recommend the same if you want total piece of mind and care for your special family member as well!”
About: Hi there! I have been a professional pet sitter since 2015 and have grown up with animals of all kinds since I was a young kid. I graduated from UNF with my Bachelors of Science in Coastal Enviornmental Science and love all types of animals. I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. Currently, I offer housesitting in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Jacksonville. I will also travel to other locations if needed. I am only offering dog sitting at my home in Jacksonville, in the Murray Hill neighborhood. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, big or small I love them all. I have vast experience with disabled and older dogs, including administering medication. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs. I send picture updates daily so you can have peace of mind that your dog is being well taken care of. I would love to watch over your four-legged family! I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. I have a fully fenced in yard and always supervise any time spent outside. I always keep an eye on where the pets are at and make sure everyone is getting along. I give special attention during feeding time to ensure no aggression is displayed.
About: My husband and I are HUGE animal lovers! We have both grown up with many animals and have many years of experience caring for our pets. We will take care of your fur babies like they are our own. No dog is too big or too small for us. We are home most weekends and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets while you are away. We will give many bathroom breaks and make sure they have plenty of outside play time. Our house is very dog friendly! We have a fenced in yard that your babies can play in. We also have a sweet dog who loves to run and play with all other animals. Our dog is diabetic so we have experience with giving injected medications if needed
“Kariah did such a great job caring for my dogs as I took a day trip. She kept me informed the whole time, walked me through what she did, and sent me plenty of pictures. I will be sure to use her the next time I am out.”
“Debbie did a great job and would definitely use her service again. She went above and beyond trying to care for my cats as I would have (I actually have several cats not one cat named Several ?). But the greatest vote of confidence was from my cats - and that was definitely a 'paws up.' in fact, one of my cats that always hides when new people are here came out to greet her while she was feeding - and she came out right away, the first night! Highly recommend Debbie.”
About: ➖ About Me ➖ Hello, my name is Hailey and I love all pets of all breeds, sizes, and age. With years of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet care beyond just sitting. I’ve worked with Rover in multiple states, fostered dogs throughout college, and grew up caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. While my current pets are cats, my love for dogs hasn’t changed—I just focus on in-home care to give them the best experience in their own space. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their unique needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free, fun, and loving experience for both pets and owners! ➖ About My Services ➖ My goal is to provide personalized care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, cuddling, or mental stimulation, I ensure they get the attention and care they need. I’m experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! ➖ What To Expect From Pet Sitting ➖ To ensure the best care for your pet, I ask that owners provide all necessary supplies and information before the booking. This helps keep your pet comfortable and allows me to stick as closely as possible to their routine. Meet & Greet: Before the first pet-sitting visit, I always schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet. This allows us to go over care instructions, discuss expectations, and make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. It’s also a great time to ask any questions! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to look after your pet I cannot wait to meet them! ➖ Schedule ➖ My current schedule for the summer is currently open with my current routine there should be no interference and I am looking forward to hearing from you! ➖ Care ➖ I will follow as closely to your regular routine as possible. In my home there are no current pets so your pet will receive sole attention with no distractions there is a dog park located at my home and another 0.4 miles away as well if they enjoy walking/running and playing with other dogs.
“Summer was very timely in her visits and communicated with me as needed. I was comforted to know that Elvis was being cared for while I was away from my home for the day. I will use her services again.”
“Jessica was AMAZING! Super sweet when we first met and she was great with my pup. I felt completely comfortable with her and I appreciated all of her updates and photos - Will be booking her for future dates. Definitely recommend :)”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fernandina Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fernandina Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fernandina Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
